Is a short-sleeve cashmere sweater warm enough for winter?

Not on its own. It is a lightweight layering piece, best in spring, fall or over a long-sleeve top in colder months.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash in cool water with a cashmere shampoo or dry clean. Lay flat to dry and avoid hanging, which stretches fine-gauge knits.

Fine-gauge cashmere commonly pills where sleeves and sides rub. A fabric comb removes pills, and pilling usually lessens after the first few wears.

It is cut as a regular-fit top with a straight hem. Lisa Yang knits tend to run true to size, with a relaxed rather than slim line.

Cashmere is softer, warmer and lighter but costs more and needs more care. Cotton is more durable and easier to wash.
